Summary Report of Committee Meeting
September 11, 1998
Glasgow
DRH Meeting
Present: Chuck Bearden, David Green, Daniel Pitti, Chris
Powell, Harold Short.
This was a small meeting at which we attempted to begin sketching
out some details of how data entry would take place. We were pleased
to welcome Chuck Bearden, new to Rice University and this project.
This was also Chris Powell's first meeting.
To begin with it was thought best to create a form letter that the
cataloguers would send out to project directors. They would then
enter material from the form, supplemented with information gathered
via telephone.
Controlled vocabularies would be used for subject (see Pamela's
suggested list) and "Object Type".
Our list of funders with project information to kick-start this
includes the NEH, Mellon, LC/Americtech, IMLS, and in the UK:
leverhulme, AHRB and JISC.
Harold Short would be applying to AHRB for funds for the the UK
component of the project.
